Product Description:
Dimethyl 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate (DMCD) is a high-purity organic compound widely used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical research, chemical synthesis, and related R&D applications. It appears as a white solid with a slight characteristic odor and demonstrates excellent stability under recommended storage conditions. Slightly soluble in water, DMCD is compatible with various organic solvents and synthetic processes, making it a versatile building block for the preparation of specialty chemicals, polymers, and other functional intermediates.
This compound is particularly valued for its role in the development of pharmaceutical intermediates and novel chemical entities, providing a reliable and consistent reagent for laboratory-scale synthesis. While DMCD is generally stable, standard precautions should be observed, including the use of protective gloves and eyewear, and avoiding release into the environment. It may cause skin irritation and is harmful if swallowed, so proper handling and storage in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area are recommended.
